Hi,

I did as you suggested and ran
cmake /Users/julienballbe/Downloads/nest-simulator-master


It went well for the cmake, make and make install commands but when I ran the make installcheck I got the following message (I attach the full log output):

(nest-simulator-dev) julienballbe@MacBook-Pro-de-Julien ~ % make installcheck

Hi,

 

It depends on where you want NEST installed. Personally, I prefer to place NEST in a directory of its own, but that is mainly because as a developer I usually have a number of NEST builds around. Thus, I would use something like

 

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/Users/julienballbe/NEST  /Users/julienballbe/Downloads/nest-simulator-master

 

On the other hand, you can also choose to install NEST right with your other Python packages using just

 

cmake /Users/julienballbe/Downloads/nest-simulator-master

 

Then, NEST will be installed in the site-packages part of your nest-simulator-dev conda environment. This makes it even easier for Python to find the nest Python module.

 

Best,

Hans Ekkehard

Hi,

 

Thank you for all your responses. I attached the full log file.

I found the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX instruction on the nest installation guidelines (https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/v3.1/installation/mac_install.html) in the building NEST section.

Indeed, I did not see the space in the command line. That should fix it, but before I do anything, would you recommend that :

1) I create a build directory NEST and run 

 (nest-simulator-dev) julienballbe@MacBook-Pro-de-Julien ~ % cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/Users/julienballbe/NEST  /Users/julienballbe/Downloads/nest-simulator-master

 

or 

 

2) use as Robin suggested 'cmake path/to/src', in which case the command line will be, I supposed, 

cmake path/to/src /Users/julienballbe/Downloads/nest-simulator-master ?

 

Thank you for your help!

Best,

 

Julien
